Biography: Tarja came from a well to do family in one of the few remaining centers in the world. She was raised to be socially conscious, educated, and well spoken.

Forget all of that.

Born with a high degree of psychic talent, Tarja began training early to develop her abilities, learning from books, active training, and the occasional, and occasionally disastrous, moments of self-study. It occupied nearly all her waking time and she progressed quickly, taking fierce enjoyment out of learning and mastering any new technique. After returning home from studying under another psychic who had taken residence in the wilderness so he could practice his “art” against threats outside the city, she often retreated to the city’s tall library to study in between her training sessions. She was in the library when an aftershock of the Calamity shook through the region and the entire city sunk into the ground. What was submerged into the liquefying ground was broken as it toppled and hit. As the library building groaned and tipped, the upper floors Tarja was studying in snapped off and smashed on the ground, with Tarja still inside. The broken tops of skyscrapers are all that remain of the former city.

Tarja’s parents weren’t at home, and with news of the cities destruction, she doubted that they would ever bother coming back. Tarja didn’t much care. Instead, she left to occupy the small shack her psychic teacher had lived in. The building itself was no more than a pile of wood now, with her old teacher long gone. Life in a tiny shack was hardly suitable to a woman who was used to having access to everything she needed, but one must make do with what one had. Tarja continued developing her talent, focusing on mastering what she had already learned, and then turned her mind to learning how to survive without the usual urban amendments. Never one to do anything half-way, Tarja tossed her urban trapping aside like torn wrapping paper and embraced a nomadic life.

Personality: Tarja is bold, not afraid to speak her mind even if she might offend someone in the process. Though raised with good manners, she finds she has little use for them now and prefers to just be blunt with people if it will get things done. She rarely forms emotional attachments with people, her relationship with her parents was cool at best, and she had no close friends that weren’t also competitors. She is determined to be good at what she does. She appreciates a sensitive soul, however, and would sooner use other people like her as means to her ends and leave the others alone.
